Answer:

14 did not finish under 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total number of competitors = 35

% who finish under 4 hours = 60%

Formula

Those who did not = 35 - 60%*35

Solution

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35 * 60%

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35*60/100 = 2100/100

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 21

Those who did not = 35 - 35*60/100

Those who did not = 35 - 21

Those who did not = 14

====================

There is another way to do this. Realize that 40% did not finish the race in under 4 hours.

Those who did not finish in under 4 hours = 35*40/100 = 1400 / 100 = 14

How do you solve 5x-2y= 18 and -5x+3y= -22 by solving a system of linear equations by elimination? Please add the steps in which
MaRussiya [10]
Write the 2 equations:

5x-2y=18
-5x+3y=-22

You can see that the coefficients of x are opposites, so you can add them(the 2 equations) to eliminate x.

Adding them, you get:

y=-3

So now that you know y, you can substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Let's substitute it in the first one:

5x+6=18

Solving this, we get:

5x=12
x=12/5

x=12/5, y=-3
